Mosti Mondiale La Bodega Port (Double Batch!)

[ibglowin]

This is by far the MOST expensive kit ever so didn't want to take any chances. I am using 50% Ice Wine bottles and 50% regular green punted. Labels from my online source set me back $40!

6 bottles of Brandy........ You get the picture!

 

[Wade E]

Yep, its quite an adventure!! Can we get a sneak peek at the labels??????

 

[Goodfella]

Glad to hear about this Buddy!!!


This kit is the best. IMO


I am glad you used Brandy.

 

[ibglowin]

Nothing too fancy on the labels, just needed 80 of them since all splits!

 

[Wade E]

Very nice!

 

[Flem]

Nice label, Mike.

 

[Runningwolf]

Mike very label. It'll look good with a black or gold Capsule!

 

[ibglowin]

Might be able to fit a shrink cap on the Ice Wine bottles but it would probably swallow the regular 375 split bottle! I have a 50/50 mix of them.

 

[Runningwolf]

Mike I used them on my Cherry and jalapeno wines in the 375 splits. Try one and see what you think. I thought they came out pretty good.

 

[Wade E]

I put the capsules on all my bottles except the real small bottles like 175's or what ever size they are but I very rarely ever use those.

 

[ibglowin]

Ok, so there goes another $9 on top of .........

 

[Waldo]

But the expense will be well worth the final presentation Mike

Mike,


Remember, "In for a Penny, in for a Pound!"

 

[vcasey]

You know Mike for as much as this as you have, I would be tempted to buy one of these http://www.1000oaksbarrel.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27&vmcchk=1&Itemid=27 to serve some of your guests.

 

[Rocky]

It's only money, Mike. I find when I have extra cash, I spend most of it on wine, women and song and the rest foolishly.

 

[Runningwolf]

Ok, so there goes another $9 on top of .........

You cheap SOB, git em on there! $9 ? I pay $.05 each.Hey I like that bag in a barrel, never saw those before. If only I had Mikes money!

 

[PeterZ]

I put capsules on the regular 375ml bottles. They fit fine.

 

[ibglowin]

Bwahahahahahaha.....

OK so lets recap this bad boy as far as expenses.

2 La Bodega Port Kits = $216 (w/o shipping)
6 Bottles of Brandy = $84
80 Corks= $10
80 Shrink Caps = $8

3 case of (12) Ice Wine Bottles = $72
2 case of (24) Split Bottles =$46

2 Bottles of Commercial top off wine = $16

Total expense for 30L or 8 Gallons of finished La Bodega Port = $462

40 full size bottles (or 80 splits)= $11.55 a bottle for a kit wine!!!!!

 

[Runningwolf]

Holy crap. I had you pegged all wrong on that one!
You better be using gold capsules.

 

[ibglowin]
